CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
-- GREELEY: If Sen. John McCain wins, the young people and the minorities will be furious, especially if it appears that the GOP has for the third straight time stolen an election by disenfranchising voters it doesn't like. And if Sen. Obama wins, the worried, the frightened, the true believers, the haters will not go away. The winner in either case will find it difficult to govern.
